Kane County Treasurer to join Utah Office of Tourism
 Kane County Treasurer Kevin Blomquist has accepted a position with the Utah Office of Tourism as Grant Specialist, overseeing the distribution of federal and state grants to tourism partners throughout the state.
Blomquist said, “I am thrilled to have the opportunity to help grow the visitor economy throughout the state by providing marketing and destination development grants to tourism entities around the state.” Blomquist will be responsible for the federally funded EDA (Economic Development Administration) grants for tourism development projects and the state-funded Cooperative Marketing grants. Both provide grants to destination marketing organizations and non-profit tourism-related entities.
“Kevin is a great fit with his marketing, lending and finance background as well as his involvement in rural county grant funds,” said Vicki Varela, Managing Director for Utah Office of Tourism. “We are thrilled to have Kevin join our team.”
Blomquist is an outdoor enthusiast who especially loves fishing, off-roading, hunting, boating, and camping. He also enjoys working on cars, particularly old Toyota Land Cruisers.
